Chapter 381 The World Has Changed (Please Subscribe)
The world has changed, and some rules and ways of doing things naturally have to change accordingly.
The energy and thoughts of the royal family members and the nobles are not above the court.
This made the fight in the court suddenly become much calmer.
As long as your own interests are not greatly affected, you really don't have much energy to take care of others.
This is the current situation in the court!
There are a lot less interest disputes, and naturally there are a lot less disputes of all kinds.
At this moment, there is actually a feeling that the civil service group is trying to act as a one-man show.
To be honest, this situation is not a good thing for the civil service group and even the cabinet bosses. They have to face the current situation directly.
Without the royal family members and the distinguished bosses as comparison, the shortcomings of the civil service group itself will easily be revealed and then targeted by the current emperor.
Do you really think that Jinyi Mansion and several other intelligence agencies are just freeloaders?
If these intelligence agencies focus most of their energy on the civilian group, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will definitely make the current situation with the civilian group very unpleasant.
Your own family knows your own business!
Even though the civil servants in the court all appear to be honest, everyone knows what is going on in private and cannot put it on the table at all.
In the past, there were royal family members and distinguished bosses in the front, and they did more weird things, so naturally they could not show the shortcomings of the civil service group.
But these guys don't bother now, aren't they cheating?
Otherwise, scholars are unreliable!
Those who really feel the huge difference are actually the many ordinary people in the capital.
The attention of the royal family members has shifted outward, which has caused the brothels, gambling houses, and pawn shops in the capital to restrain themselves a lot, and the dirty things that cannot be brought to light have gradually decreased.
It's not that their conscience finds out, but they don't want to be caught, especially the current emperor!
Just look at Prince Zhongshun and you will know that once the current emperor becomes shameless, not many royal family members can withstand it, and it is easy for the current emperor to skin him!
As the major shareholders behind many gray businesses in the capital city, they have to guard against it!
On the other hand, those gray businesses that are not on the table are also their main source of income, and they don't want to be blocked because of something.
If these gray industries are not messed up, there will be a lot less disputes in the capital.
In fact, many people from the capital city were recruited and became pioneers in overseas development.
After all, they dare to fight, kill and are aggressive. They are definitely one of the important choices for the pioneers of overseas territories.
This matter was not caused by Jia Huan secretly adding fuel to the flames.
It's just that his overseas territories are quite eye-catching in terms of order management and business development.
All the arrangements and methods during the period were all laid out in the open, and there was no intention of being secretive.
A group of royal family members, including Prince Zhongshun, naturally saw this and began to imitate it.
In fact, Jia Huan's territory in the outer sea is like a benchmark.
They also saw the benefits, and almost one-third of the Jianghu people in the capital were recruited by them, and then they became active pioneers in the overseas territories of the royal clan.
The environment in the offshore territory is not considered safe. It does require the help of these people who have certain martial arts skills and are energetic and enterprising at the same time. This is very beneficial to stabilizing people's hearts and developing the territory.
You can't just rely on the army for everything, it won't be able to take care of it at all, okay?
Think about it, how much impact will the departure of a large number of people from the world have on the lives of ordinary people?
It can be said that the entire capital city and even the Zhili area have shown a rare tranquility in recent times, and the place is peaceful.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for local officials to mess around and be easily exposed.
Not to mention, the royal clansmen headed by Prince Zhongshun have started a large-scale material transportation mode in order to develop and build offshore territories.
A large amount of grain was transported from the warehouse of Huangzhuang, as well as other living and production materials, and a large-scale transportation mode was also launched.
The savings in the hands of many royal clans were dug out of the cellars and quickly turned into various materials and transported to their respective territories outside the sea.
How many people have benefited from this process? It’s countless.
It can be said that as the royal clan members all took action, the economy of the entire capital city and the area north of the Yellow River has experienced significant improvement and momentum.
Maybe the big guys in the court don't quite understand what's going on, but everyone who has experienced the baptism of the modern information explosion understands what this means.
The large-scale circulation of money and the large-scale operation of materials, benefits that originally could only fall to local powerful people and country gentry, have overflowed into the hands of the lower class people.
As a result, the people at the bottom have more money, and their living standards have also improved.
Just looking at the economic situation north of the Yellow River, it looks like a peaceful and prosperous age!
However, the civil service group was unable to make enough profits at a time like this!
The main thing is that they don't dare to mess around!
The royal families who started this economic boom will not allow civil servants to hold back!
If anyone dares to mess around and affect their material delivery, the consequences will be too serious.
This made the officials who gradually started the layer-by-layer plucking mode very uncomfortable and quite dissatisfied.
But if you don’t adapt, you won’t adapt. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only hold it in!
The current situation is like this, and we really cannot tolerate the random messing around by the civil service group!
The feeling given to the civil service group is that the world has changed, and they are a little uncomfortable with it.
What’s the point of simply assisting the current emperor in managing the vast empire?
Seeing the massive amount of money and materials flowing crazily and rushing to the outer sea territories, their eyes turned red and they wanted to bite off a big piece.
It's a pity that we can only think about it. They are not colleagues in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
If the emperor is disobedient, find a way to change him!
The current Daqian government cannot tolerate them being so presumptuous, and the civil service group does not yet have an overwhelming advantage over other interest groups!
They can be asked to learn from the royal clan and guide their families to develop and occupy territories in the outer seas, but they don't have such courage and drive. They just want to take what's in the city.
Relying on the rules set by the court, they can exploit the people unscrupulously in the local area, steal their land and even their personal freedom, and make a lot of money while lying down.
There is really no need to risk and spend a huge amount of money to go to the outer sea to occupy those desolate lands.
Of course, if the royal family members had properly constructed the overseas territories and their living standards were not much worse than Daqian, they would not mind taking over those territories at that time.
As for them to take the initiative to develop, that is simply impossible!
If they really want to seize territory in the outer seas, the advantage of the civil servant group is actually much greater than that of the royal clan and the noble forces combined.
Don't forget the big families on the southeast coast, they are the overlords of the coastal waters of Daqian!
In the pre-Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi, the pirate king they single-handedly cultivated, and the Zheng family in the late Ming Dynasty, which one was not the dominant maritime power in the South China Sea?
They had the opportunity to occupy too many islands and territories in the outer sea, but they chose not to do so!
Why?
It’s not that they are out of their minds, it’s that the materials and energy required to develop offshore islands are too great.
Accustomed to the peaceful life of landlords and gentry, they simply couldn't think of any hard work overseas.
Especially Wang Zhi, who even went to Japan to establish the Song Dynasty.
As a result, in the end, they still ran to the southeast coast of the Qianming Dynasty to toss, and were finally wiped out!
If he had occupied one or two large islands in Nanyang at that time, he could really have established his own country.
It's a pity that I couldn't let go of Qian Ming's colorful world, so I lost all my good cards in the end!
There are also wealthy families on the southeast coast. Every family obviously relies on overseas trade to make a lot of money.
But unfortunately, there is no enterprising spirit at all.
There are simply not many people who are willing to go to the outer sea to occupy islands and become emperors of the land.
How could the cabinet bosses, as civilian leaders, not be clear about these situations?
Their thinking is similar to that of the heads of wealthy families on the southeast coast, who just want to reap the benefits.
I don’t even think about it, what is the situation of the royal family and the noble forces?
If you don't find a way to break through, it won't take long for everyone to be completely wiped out.
And the top leaders in the civil service group have united to control the right to select talents for the imperial examination!
It can be said that as long as the children of the family are not really stupid, it is not very difficult to pass the imperial examination and become an official.
They can completely help the family and the academy behind them to develop and grow through the rules of the court.
Everything was fine at first, but due to overseas development, the civil service group was in a bit of trouble right now.
At present, there is no force in the court to compete with them, and naturally there will be no other force to serve as a control group for them. They have to face the current emperor for everything.
The current emperor is not easy to fool!
Whatever you do will face the scrutiny and vigilance of the current emperor!
Just think about it and you will know that life will not be easy in the future!
How did the situation get to this point?
In such a situation, even the cabinet bosses are at a loss what to do.
There is no such record in previous history books.
Even though the royal family members and noble forces gave in, they took the lead in the court and gained a lot of benefits in private, but they were not happy at all.
For no other reason, not just one or two civil servants were captured by Jin during this period!
It's not just the severe drought in Guanzhong and northwest China, it's something that local officials deliberately concealed.
Nowadays, it is natural and unnatural to focus on the south, so there are many unlucky officials!
Jiangnan's money and grain, Jiangnan's silk and satin, Jiangnan's shipbuilding, Jiangnan's salt tax, etc., are all matters involving major interests, and are good things that cannot be given up today.
Especially ship manufacturing, all fools know that this is a profiteering business!
In the eyes of today's emperor, the shipbuilding industry is not just about huge profits, it can even be said to be the most convenient resource for controlling the royal family!
The shipbuilding industry is the lifeblood of the wealthy families on the southeast coast, and it is impossible to give it up!
